A Marlborough man already facing charges for break-ins in Ashland and Southborough is now charged with another break-in in Ashland.

Nickolas Petruzzi, 26, of Marlborough, skipped his Framingham District Court arraignment on Monday and Judge Douglas Stoddart ordered a warrant for his arrest.

Ashland Police arrested Petruzzi, of 194 Chestnut St., on Friday at his home around 10 p.m.

Petruzzi had broken into a Main Street, Ashland, home on Friday around 2:45 p.m., according to a police report filed in Framingham District Court on Monday.

An Ashland officer had seen Petruzzi leaving Main Street shortly before the break-in had been reported. Items stolen included golf clubs and collectible coins. Police searched, but could not locate Petruzzi finding him at his Marlborough home, the report said.

During questioning, an officer asked Petruzzi why he was in Ashland that day.

"He stated that he would not have been there as he stayed out of Ashland since he last got charged," the report said.

When told that an officer had seen him and that another person had reported seeing his sport utility vehilce, Petruzzi changed his story.

"After a few moments, Petruzzi admitted to being involved," the report said.

Petruzzi said he acted for a lookout for Mikhail Zaytsev of Ashland, who has been charged with him in earlier break-ins. Zaytsev has not been arrested, but the report said police are seeking him.

Both Petruzzi and Zaytsev are accused of numerous break-ins in Southborough and Ashland between March and June. They face six breaking and entering charges in Ashland, and are facing charges for four more in Southborough.

Both men pleaded not guilty and were released on $2,000 bail at their Framingham District Court arraignments in September.

Petruzzi was released on bail on Saturday and ordered to come to court on Monday, but he never showed.
